MIDNIGHT PRINCE: Empire of Sin

『 Name: Sae Kirishima

Alias: None

Race: Human/?? (Undergoing Awakening of a Dormant Bloodline)

Age: 21 』

Adam's expression hardened slightly at the sight of the information floating in front of his eyes.

"Adam, is there a problem?"

"Haha, nah. More importantly, we now need to clean this up fast."

Sae blushed heavily as she looked down at the scenery and aftermath of their carnal union. She immediately went to her bag to take a few tissues out as well as a sanitary pad for herself.

"I will go take a shower anyway."

She gave him her debit card for him to pay for the swimsuit but Adam waved his hand and handed it back to her. He had participated in the act of staining her underwear so the least he could do was pay for the piece of clothing.

Sae hesitated slightly, wondering if it would be right for Adam to pay for it when it was herself that had started this fiasco, but in the end, she did not insist and complied with his will as she walked out of the changing room before fleeing the hell out toward the shower room.

When Adam walked up to the clerk, he could see that the young woman was giving him a meaningful smile while he paid for the swimsuit.

Adam immediately understood that they hadn't been as discreet as they thought they had been with their little carnal act. He groaned in his mind, admonishing himself for not being able to plan out the situation in a more secretive way, and took out a few more bills to add as tips. Simple bribery to keep the clerk's mouth shut about this incident.

Even though the woman had asked for nothing, he thought that it was the least he could do for the things they did in the room and for her to seal her lips about this indecent act of theirs. There was also the fact that someone would have to clean this room later.

Thinking about all of this, he felt quite apologetic.

"Thanks and sorry for everything."

The woman was surprised by the money that was provided to her. It was clear that she wasn't expecting anything from him when she looked at him with a knowing gaze. As such she just giggled to herself as she shook her head,

"Thanks for the tip. But you should be more careful in the future. You never know, even walls have ears, after all."

Adam could only respond with an awkward smile as he hastened to leave the premise. He felt like he would die of shame if he were to stay in this place any longer.

While all of this fiasco was taking place, Adam's second mind was computing at full speed, trying to understand just what the hell had happened with Sae for her to show such changes.

The Eyes of Truth had been pretty clear about her situation but this was why he was all the more confused about it.

Why did Sae suddenly awaken some kind of dormant bloodline? Just what was the trigger for her to awaken? He needed to find the answers to these crucial questions.

'Genesis, do you have any information about this?'

[Humans are promiscuous by nature and they are able to have children with basically all supernatural races.]

'Oh…'

Adam was left speechless by the information that was provided to him in response. He remembered how in the past God flooded the entire world after a few angels started having children with humans. The almighty wasn't particularly happy with that act of theirs.

[Indeed. Cambions, Nephilims, Changelings, Damphirs and so many more [1]. Humans have mingled with supernatural creatures since time immemorial and many cases of powerful humans were noted to be hybrids. For instance, the great sage Merlin who was actually a Cambion [2].]

'So Sae is someone like that?'

[Not exactly. After a few generations, hybrids mostly lose their power until they become completely dormant. The children might be a little more sensitive to the supernatural but they might not even be able to see through the Veil even in their lifetimes. It seems your woman was the same case. But now… Her bloodline has started to awaken…and you are most likely the cause.]

Adam groaned and writhed after hearing this info. The only thing he did with Sae was to have sex and cum inside her.

If that was the case… If that was really the reason for her awakening…

He covered his face in exasperation…

'What the hell kind of hentai development is this?'

Now he had to wonder what he would do with Sae. Sooner or later she would awaken to whatever other part of her bloodline was and like him— Her life would completely change.

Even though he did not know he had such power, it was nonetheless his fault and he had to take responsibility for this one way or another.

Adam could only form a bitter smile as he cupped his face with his hands…

'Now. How do I reveal this to her…'

It wasn't everyday one had to announce to their friend that they were most likely descendants of a supernatural being.

———

A few moments later, Adam decided to put the question aside. Just for today, at least, he would not think about anything that was too complicated. He would just have fun and enjoy the day with his friends as was originally planned.

He went to the shower as well to wash his sweaty and smelly body and then found Natasha standing near with an awkward smile drawn on her face while waiting for them.

From what she said, a few girls had started chatting up with Viktor after seeing him without a shirt and the poor boy had been whisked away by the group of young and nubile, smoking hot girls in bikini bottoms. Adam wasn't too worried about his new friend. Viktor was a big man and he knew where the house was. He could find his way back home if needed.

Sae was still taking a shower so only Natasha and Adam were standing together in a still silent and awkward atmosphere.

"Soo… Yeah."

Adam coughed slightly and was about to blabber something, but was stopped by Natasha, "Let's just forget whatever happened."

Her face was quite red as she said but she did not want to dwell too much on her eavesdropping her two friends having sex.

His eyebrows rose in surprise but he only shrugged in response. He wasn't particularly ashamed about his acts and if Natasha didn't want to talk about it then it was all the better for him.

He then gave a good look at the girl next to him.

Natasha was a relatively tall woman with a lithe body. Even though Sae always mocked the size of her chest, it wasn't as if there was nothing there. Natasha still had small but beautiful curves. The comparison between the two was just unfair.

Natasha had what Adam would call a ballerina's body and currently she was wearing a white one-piece swimsuit that outlined her graceful form pretty well. She had a certain artistic beauty to her as if she was a work of art and Adam realized once again how beautiful his friend was.

"A little late to say this, but your swimsuit is beautiful. You look really cute right now."

"Cute?" She looked down and grinned. "I guess I am quite lacking compared to Sae."

Adam chuckled, "I do find you attractive. I was just told that telling a woman that she is sexy can be seen as harassment."

"So… Teasing a young and innocent maiden while going at it with a girl in a changing room isn't harassment?"

"Well… I am not the one who called you there now, was I?"

"It is a public space."

"*Ahem* Don't mind the small details."

The two laughed lightly and the awkwardness in the air was immediately dispelled. They started chatting and joking around but the more time passed the more a growing uneasiness started to grow in both their heart.

Adam frowned as he looked around. The park which should have been filled with laughter and cry of children having fun or adults moving and discussing was slowly crawling to a halt.

The air felt heavy and suffocating and everyone started to look eat each other with uneasiness. Like how some animals could predict incoming calamities, all those present here could feel it.

Something was not right.

Something was about to happen.

The sound of the sea vanished. The birds flying in the sky quieted down. The small breeze stopped.

For a moment…The world seemingly grew entirely silent.

Then they all looked up. As a supreme presence ordered them to. Alarms blared in Adam's mind as he looked up at the sky.

"What the…"

Natasha looked up as well and her expression was similar to Adam's. One of bewilderment and a creeping feeling of fear.

After all — The blue sky had vanished and was completely dyed in a deep shade of crimson.

Furthermore, an ominous magic circle appeared where the Sun should have been.

The circle depicted the image of a monster with a snake' tail and three heads.

It had the head of a man spitting fire, the head of a sheep, and the head of a bull. The monster was riding a lion that had the wings of a dragon.

Just looking at this image was enough for Adam to feel like vomiting and made his mind hazy. Voices blared in his head, spewing words like curses he could not understand.

He immediately caught Natasha and forced her to look down while he did the same.

"Don't look up!!"

Someone shouted —- He recognized Viktor's voice. Sadly, his intervention had the opposite effect as more people looked up at the red sky and the crimson magical circle. Adam had no time to care about all of this though since the book of Genesis opened and something he had not seen in a while appeared once more in front of his eyes.

'Shit!'

So much for a peaceful day.

[1]: [Cambions] are Succubus or Incubus-Human hybrids. The term was generalized later to include all hybrid demons.

[Nephilims] are Angel-Human hybrids. Most were killed during the flood in Noah's time but it's said a few survived the culling.

[Changelings] aren't exactly hybrids. Basically, a demon or fairy comes to a house steals the baby, and exchanges it for his own. The baby is raised as a human until he/she awakens.

[Damphirs] are Vampire-Human hybrids. Generally, in literature, it's a male vampire/female human parent. It's said vampires when they come back from the dead search for the women they loved and take their virginity and/or impregnate them.

In one case, a Serbian widow tried to blame her pregnancy on her late husband, who had supposedly become a vampire, and there were cases of Serbian men pretending to be vampires in order to reach the women they desired… Man the things we learn. Haha

[2]: In modern writing Merlin's (from Arthurian legend) origin is that he is the son of an Incubus and a Human.
